Bootloader
In general, this is the code which is run prior to the main firmware and is responsible for signature checking and subsequently loading the main FW. Both the baseband and the main OS have bootloaders, and these are entirely different. PwnageTool and WinPwn allow control over the main OS bootloader, while BootNeuter allows control over the baseband bootloader.
